SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: 2002 GMC YUKON, THE VEHICLE'S FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CORRODED. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 3.7 MPH, BUT LESS THAN 10 MPH, THE CORROSION CAUSED THE ABS TO ACTIVATION. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHERE STOPPING DISTANCE IS LIMITED A CRASH MAY OCCUR. VEHICLES HAVE A CONDITION PERMITTING CORROSION TO OCCUR BETWEEN THE FRONT HUB-BARRING ASSEMBLE IN THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE CONSUMER IS EXPERIENCING WITH HIS VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO, THE SAME INFORMATION THAT IS INCLUDE IN A MANUFACTURES RECALL IN THE NATION OF CANADA. RECALL DATE JAN. 25, 2005 PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL I.D. 04094 AND THE DOCUMENT I.D. 1587153. CONSUMER HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO DEALER THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNLESS THE HE PAID FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THEY DEALER ALSO TOLD THE CONSUMER ABOUT THE RECALL IN CANADA. THE CONSUMER HAD CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE, WHICH TOLD HIM THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE RECALL IS IN CANADA. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN IT TO THE FOLLOWING THREE DEALERSHIPS: DENOOYER CHEVEROLET 518-458-7700, DEPAULA CHEVEROLET 518-489-5551, GOLDSTEIN GMC 518-869-2291, ALL THREE ARE LOCATED IN ALBANY, NEW YORK. CONSUMER ALSO, FOUND A NHTSA ACTION NO. PE05020 THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO HIS COMPLAINT. *NM

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE IN DRIVING RAIN RESULTING IN EXTREMELY LOW VISABILITY. VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD, IGNITION WAS SHUT OFF AND STARTED AGAIN IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET WIPERS TO WORK. WIPERS STILL FAILED TO OPERATE. CAR COULD NOT BE SAFELY OPERATED UNTIL RAIN HAD CEASED. THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE ON MANY GM VEHICLES. WE HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT IN AN S-10 TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, SO WE WERE FAMILIAR WITH PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
9-28-04: MY 2004 GMC YUKON HAD 22643 MILES ON IT. I WENT TO GET IN THE CAR THAT MORNING TO START IT UP AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. MECHANIC STATED THAT MY FUEL PUMP HAD WENT OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMPS ON THESE VEHICLES WERE FAULTY. THEY REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP. 5-24-05: MY YUKON HAD 50012 MILES ON IT. I GOT IN THE VEHICLE THAT MORNING TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. ONCE AGAIN IT HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT COST US APPROXIMATELY $900.00 TO REPAIR. THEY INFORMED US THAT THE NEWEST FUEL PUMP HAD A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WE WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHEN MY HUSBAND ASKED WHY THE 2ND FUEL PUMP THEY PUT ON DID NOT HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY, WE WERE TOLD THAT GM DOESN'T WARRANTY ANY WARRANTY PARTS. BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS STRANDED WITH MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. EACH TIME THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMPS BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY MY FUEL PUMPS SEEM TO QUIT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 25000 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY CAN'T GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS EITHER. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AT SLOW BRAKING SPEEDS {AT 5 MPH} THE ABS BRAKES GO OFF EVERY TIME YOU STOP. WHEN COASTING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT 5 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKES GO OFF THEY LOCK UP AND THEY DO NOT LET GO. WHEN THEY LOCK UP, AND YOUR CANNOT STOP OR CONTROL THE BRAKING, YOU RUN INTO THE CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICHLE ANY MORE BECAUSE SHE CANNOT CONTROL THE STOPPING. I REMOVED THE FUSES THAT CONTROL THE ABS BRAKING SO THAT I CAN CONTROL MY BRAKING.
